Based on the fact that 4 out of the last four US figure skating events have been on the West Coast or just about (SA 2011, 2012 Nationals, 2012 Four Continents & 2012 SA), 2014 Nationals had better be in Boston!

At least the hotel room rates don't look too bad. But then again, that's before the local hotels get wind of it and decide to jack them up to what the market will bear. I just checked the rates in Omaha, Nebraska for Nationals' week and the Courtyard is now charging $249 a night if you haven't already nailed down the $139 rate through the housing authority.

Because it's close to the airport (well, actually two airports), there are a lot of hotels. And, yes, a lot of these hotels have shuttles. If you want to explore Downtown Seattle, drive to the park n ride to the Link Right Rail (on the weekends, the parking lots are empty).
